    Daily Driver, Go Where I Want To Build

    Is that the replacement tailgate, or did you just beat yours back into shape?

    Colorado Krew Hangout

    Man, that's too bad to hear. I had planned to get up there this morning but the weather put me off. I found the trail a little challenging the last time I ran it (on 31s), but I really enjoyed it. Lots of good ledges to climb. How disappointing!

    Tire noise level: A/T vs R/T vs M/T

    I should clarify that my DTs were nice and quiet when new. But by the first rotation at 5k miles, they were starting to hum a little and things progressed from there.

    Tire noise level: A/T vs R/T vs M/T

    If you want quiet, don't do DuraTracs. I had a set on my DD 4Runner, and pulled them off at 20k miles. I just couldn't deal with the noise. Before those, I had the BFG KO2 and they were fine. Supposedly GY redesigned the DT, but after my last set (purchased Fall of 2022) I won't give them...

    I’m truly impressed that someone else knows what the nuggets boxed set is. (Not to be confused with box seats.)

    Opinions on this AEV built LJ

    I guess it just seems odd to me that they didn’t use their own, but perhaps they built this one before buying Nth.

    That doesn’t look like the AEV Nth Degree long arm to me.

    Selling Rubicon to friend: what’s it worth?

    My guess is $20k in this area, but I may be a little low.

    Opinions on this AEV built LJ

    I would question what aspects of it AEV built and which were stuck on afterward. I love a nice AEV LJ as much as the next guy, but this one has way too many red flags for me.

    Wrangler TJ Gas Overflow Fix

    Thanks for the words of encouragement on this part! I was afraid I was going to break it until I read these posts and yanked at an angle with gusto. The hardest part of the fix was either pulling the overflow valve housing out, or getting the metal fuel pump lock ring back on. An appropriate...

    Help me measure my lift

    Your springs are aftermarket. They were likely 2" lift springs and are sagging due to the weight of the winch, age, etc. Although there may be some silver 1" lift springs out there, the only 1" springs I've seen are the H&R springs and they're not silver. As for determining gearing, Is your...

    Will a 33 inch tire work on the factory spare tire carrier?

    The answer is, "It depends..." The stock rear bumper may interfere with a 33 if you don't have a body lift. Also, what you need to do to properly support the tire with snubbers depends on the offset of the wheel the tire is on and the width of the tire (33x10.50, 33x12.50, 2885/75R16, etc.).
